NOBIDA is always happy to host the charming and enlightening Marilyn Zecher for her Multisensory Math programs. The summer of 2025 was no different; this year, we offered 2 full-length, live in-person classes full of ready-to-use techniques at Walsh University in North Canton. We are proud to report that Zecher’s in-person Multisensory Math I and Multisensory Math II classes attracted participants from far and wide, including attendees from Florida, New Mexico, California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Oregon, Mississippi, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Ohio for these amazing two weeks of learning in Northern Ohio!
Zecher is the newly named Founding Fellow of Multisensory Math at the Orton Gillingham Academy. Based on the Orton-Gillingham philosophy of teaching, her programs use multisensory techniques to teach mathematics, an approach especially effective with students who learn differently, those placed in inclusion classes, and ESL learners.

NOBIDA Dyslexia Simulations: “A Walk in the Shoes,” an Engaging Activity to Improve Understanding

Dyslexia Simulations allow individuals without dyslexia to experience literacy challenges in a “mock” classroom reading and writing session. These events help build awareness and empathy in attendees for those living with dyslexia. From our professional perspective, simulations also help our team of educators fine-tune classroom literacy skill-development strategies based on non-dyslexic participants’ reactions to the challenges they face in the simulation. IDA of Northern Ohio proudly hosts Dyslexia Simulations at schools and other institutions to shed light on literacy learning styles that differ from the norm. Typical learners can more readily gain literacy skills through a multitude of teaching methods, but those with dyslexia require explicit, systematic instruction using strategies aligned with Structured Literacy. This type of instruction helps all learners gain literacy skills, but it is a necessary teaching strategy for individuals with dyslexia. |
